Most of our quote requests come from people in one of these situations. If yours doesn’t fit neatly, that’s OK — describe what you’ve got and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Homeowners

Garage and basement cleanouts, furniture turnover, getting ready for a move or a remodel.

Renters

Move-out cleanups, single-item pickup, getting rid of a couch or mattress that can’t go in regular trash.

Landlords & property managers

Tenant turnovers, unit cleanouts between leases, clearing common areas and storage spaces.

Realtors & home sellers

Pre-listing cleanups, removing old furniture before staging, post-closing leftovers.

Small businesses

Office cleanouts, retail fixture removal, restaurant equipment, general commercial junk.

Estate situations

Family transitions where a property needs thoughtful, thorough clearing on a manageable timeline.

How we think about providers

We’re a small local site, not a marketplace. We’re selective about which provider gets a quote request, and we’re upfront about the basics we look for.

Properly licensed where required

Denver requires all solid waste haulers operating in the city to hold a current license, with insurance documentation and vehicle identification on file. We expect any partner working in Denver to be in good standing.
Real insurance

A current certificate of insurance is table stakes. Anyone driving a truck on residential property and carrying heavy items in and out of homes should be carrying liability coverage.
Responsive and clear about what they take

Slow or inconsistent communication is the most common complaint about junk removal. We expect providers to actually return calls and texts, and to be honest up front about items they cannot handle (hazardous materials, certain electronics, etc.).
Honest with quotes

Quotes should be based on the job described, with clear surcharges (refrigerant, heavy materials, stairs) called out before the truck shows up — not added at the end.
Willing to say "use the city instead"

If a job fits Denver’s free Large Item Pickup, free appliance program, or E-cycle coupon better than a paid pickup, we expect the provider to say so. We will, too.

We can’t guarantee any specific outcome with any specific provider — that’s between you and the company that responds. We’re telling you what we expect on our end before we share your details with anyone.

We’ll say it when it’s true

Use city pickup when it fits

The City and County of Denver runs several free or low-cost programs that genuinely cover a lot of jobs. If your job is one of those, you don’t need to pay anyone — including us, eventually.

Large Item Pickup

Every nine weeks, on your regular trash day. Up to 5 large items and 10 extra bags. Excellent for one couch, a rug, or a wrapped mattress.

Free appliance collection

Denver SWM picks up refrigerators, washers, dryers, water heaters, AC units, and more — free by appointment. Call SWM at (720) 913-1311.

E-cycle coupon

One discounted electronics drop-off per household per year at Blue Star Recyclers. Covers TVs, computers, monitors, and many small electronics.

Live in Aurora?

Aurora works differently from Denver

The City of Aurora doesn’t run residential trash or recycling pickup — every household contracts with a permitted private hauler. There’s no Denver-style nine-week bulky pickup, and storage pods or dumpsters aren’t allowed on public streets. We wrote a separate guide for what that actually means when you have stuff to get rid of in Aurora.

Same-day or next-day options may be available depending on provider availability and your location. Submitting your request early in the day gives you the best chance of a quick response.

Yes. Homeowners, renters, landlords, property managers, and businesses can all request junk removal quotes through this site.
